A few days after the emperor was assassinated, the entire Yingchuan County was turned up and down, and Yang Zhai Ling, the county lieutenant and other cadres were all killed under the emperor's anger to vent their anger.

When the emperor left, not only the local officials in Yingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, but also the common people breathed a sigh of relief and restored calm.

In the backyard of Yaochun Hall in Yangzhai City, Lu Xuanbo, who was still very pale, was wearing a single coat and standing under the eaves with a cane, watching the two children playing in the yard, and through the thin underwear, he could see that his chest, abdomen and waist were wrapped with gauze.

"Uncle, the medicine is ready!" An old woman in her fifties came up with a bowl of medicine and said.

Uncle is not an honorific title, but a title for the strongmen in the rivers and lakes, expressing his fear.

Lu Xuanbo saw the panic and fear on the old woman's face, he sighed secretly in his heart, and silently took the pottery bowl and drank the medicine.

At that time, after another failed assassination attempt on Tuoba Tao, he was seriously injured and fled over the courtyard wall in a panic and hid in the backyard of this pharmacy, his original intention was not to coerce the old couple and family in this pharmacy, and the family obviously misunderstood him and thought that he threatened them with his two grandsons, so when the officers and soldiers sent people to search, he covered up for the safety of his grandson and concealed the search of the officers and soldiers.

Although this was not his intention, he meant coercion here, and he knew that it was useless to explain, and he didn't want to make a fuss.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Xuanbo knew that he was leaving, and the failure of the second assassination did not mean that he would fail again in the future, but the difficulty of the next assassination would increase again.

This is a pharmacy, Lu Xuanbo took a few bottles of ointment for treating external injuries and pills for internal use, all of them were packed into the blanket, he turned around and saw that the family was sincerely afraid, the young couple faintly blocked the old couple and a pair of children behind him, he pondered for a while, reached into the blanket and took out a gold cake and gently put it on the counter.

"This is the money for food and medicine these days! I'm leaving, if you don't want to bring trouble to the family, it's best to keep your mouth shut, just treat me as if you've never seen me, especially to take care of the children, it's terrible to be a child, maybe you accidentally told your friends, and then your friends told their parents again, and then the government knew! ”

The old man hurriedly said: "No, no, we must keep our mouths shut, and we will also manage the two children to prevent them from telling anyone, we will not cause trouble for ourselves!" ”

"That's the best!" Lu Xuanbo left a warning look, picked up a hat and put it on his head, turned around and left quickly, and disappeared as soon as he went out.

The pharmacy family, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all relieved.

Temple.

When the emperor left, the people were happy, and they came here to offer incense and pray for blessings, thanking the city god for his blessing, but how did these people know that the city god could not control the emperor.

At dusk, the people who came to offer incense gradually dispersed, and the temple blessed with a hunched waist to clean up the mess left by the pilgrims.

The sky darkened, and the cleaned temple door was closed, an oil lamp was lit, the cash box was opened, and today's harvest was counted, with a happy smile on his face as he counted the money.

At this time, there seemed to be a wind blowing, and the temple door was blown open, and a black figure with a hat stood outside the temple gate.

Miao Zhu's hand in counting the money paused, and then continued to count, saying as he counted, "You're late!" ”

The voice of the black shadow was not emotional: "Prepare the manpower, the next stop - Yecheng!" ”

Hearing this, Miao Zhu stopped counting the money, and slowly turned around, revealing the face of a man in his thirties, with two eyes like a pool of water, bottomless, and a long beard.

"Lu Xuanbo, you have lost more than 30 of me in two assassinations, do you know how much it costs to train these people? It's a pity that you failed on both attempts, and you want to come back a third time? I'll tell you the truth, you don't have a chance! ”

Lu Xuanbo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean? If you can't succeed in two assassinations, can you succeed in the third time? The boss has already spoken, let's take you back to Jiankang, someone wants to see you! Now, put down your sword! ”

Lu Xuanbo said coldly: "The sword is my life, if you want to take my sword, you will take my life, do you think I will give my life to you?" ”

"I knew you wouldn't be caught, huh!" Miao Zhu snorted coldly and clapped his hands: "Bang pa"

Two crisp applause rang out, and eight black-clothed people appeared inside and outside the City God Temple, all carrying sharp swords and quick knives.

"Crackling" There was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, and a flash of lightning flashed.

With a "bang", Lu Xuanbo's sword was unsheathed.

"There's an order from above, kill him!" A burst of shouts came out of the temple wishes, and the eight He Yi people raised their swords to kill Lu Xuanbo.

"Dangdangdang······" The sound of weapons clashing continued, and soon someone fell.

After a series of lightning and thunder, the downpour poured down from the sky like splashing water, and the sound of the rain drowned out all the sounds of fighting.

The shadows of swords and swords kept flashing, and the figures moved and dodged, and there were no screams, howls, or roars, only silent fighting and death.

After a cup of tea, only Lu Xuanbo was still standing, and Miao Zhu and the killers all fell in a pool of blood.

"You want to kill me? It's not that easy! Lu Xuanbo gasped and muttered to himself as he leaned on the hilt of his sword.

Lu Xuanbo added new wounds to his body, and the old wounds burst out, he staggered into the temple and took off his tattered clothes, medicated the old and new wounds, redressed the wounds, changed into a Taoist robe, put on a robe, and disappeared into the rainy night wearing a hat.

······

Outside the garrison camp in Suiyang Town.

More than 600 soldiers from Liang County, who were going to the border of Huaishuo Town, had already completed the formation, and all of them were leading horses, and behind them there were more than 100 horses carrying grain, grass, supplies and camp tents.

The families of these soldiers were all gathered around, and from time to time someone shouted at the team, telling someone to be careful when they went to the battlefield, and the women who saw them off wept.

Zhao Junsheng opened the crowd and walked towards the departing team, where two soldiers stopped him with spears.

Liang Peng, who was on the side, saw it and waved his hand to the two soldiers and asked them to let them go.

Liang Peng beckoned to Hua Mulan in the ranks of officers in the team, Hua Mulan saw him, and also saw Zhao Junsheng beside him, and walked over after hesitation.

"I'm about to leave, hurry up and tell me if you have anything to explain!" Liang Peng said a word and turned to leave.

Zhao Junsheng didn't know what he was going to say, let her stay? This is impossible, there is still a way to think if it is not recorded in the military register, but now that Mulan's name has been recorded in the military register, it is impossible to take it down, no one dares to do this kind of thing, and no one can bear the responsibility if something happens.

Although Hua Mulan said that she had dissolved the marriage contract with him, he was also very painful in his heart, but this pain was not the pain after being dumped by his ex-girlfriend in his previous life, this was a kind of lovesickness that was about to endure thousands of miles apart, and he had a deep reluctance in his heart.

Zhao Junsheng pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's nothing, I just came to tell you that you must be careful in the future, and you must remember to protect yourself when you go to the battlefield, I ······ Waiting for you to come back! ”

Mulan's face was calm, but she was actually very painful in her heart, and she sighed: "Brother Junsheng, why are you so troubled? I'm about to leave, life and death are unpredictable in the future, you might as well forget about me! ”

"Uhh

Hua Mulan turned her head and glanced at it, turned back to Zhao Junsheng and said: "I have been appointed as a messenger, and I will not go to the battlefield to fight for the time being, don't worry, don't worry about me, if possible, please Brother Junsheng help me take care of the family, Mulan is grateful!" ”

After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she turned around and left, stepped on the war horse and set off next to the team, Zhao Junsheng raised his hand and waved.

I don't know when, Wan Yutong walked to his side: "Zhao Junsheng, I'm very reluctant, right?" ”
